Expecting

All at once it happens
You find yourself involved
No escape can hide you
Sleep provides no rest at all

Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall

Caught beneath the surface
Worlds lie in between
You know the search will tae you
Out beyond the world of things

What am I to say here? (can't go on like this forever)
Words so often fail (meet me in this lonely place)
How am I to wake you (can't go on like this much longer)
From your sleep? (lift the veil and let it fall)
And lift the veil from your eyes

Will I find love with you?
I expect love from you (all my expectations)
Will I find love here with you? (fall upon this frozen ground)
(Fall upon this holy ground)

Did not mean to hurt you
It was envy I suppose
Once that passion takes you
It chills the body and the soul

What am I to say here? (can't go on like this forever)
Words so often fail (meet me in this lonely place)
How am I to wake you (can't go on like this much longer)
From your sleep? (lift the veil and let it fall)
And lift the veil from your eyes

Will I find love with you?
I expect love from you (all my expectations)
Will I find love here with you? (fall upon this frozen ground)
(Fall upon this holy ground)

Telling every wish and secret
Saying every word out loud
Can't go on like this much longer
Cannot hide here in this crowd

Why you chose to bear this likeness
Live inside this skin and bone
Wrath becomes the loving kindness
Heals the body and the soul

Waking every sleeping passion
Every single thought restored
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
